.AFPHOTO files are the native file format for Affinity Photo, a professional image editing software developed by Serif. These files preserve all layers, adjustments, effects, and other editing data within a single document, allowing for non-destructive editing and flexibility. The format is designed to retain high image quality and support a wide range of features specific to Affinity Photo, such as live filter layers, adjustment layers, and various blending modes. While Affinity Photo can export to other common image formats like .PSD, .PNG, and .JPEG, the .AFPHOTO format ensures that all native editing capabilities are preserved for future modifications. This file format is classified as Raster image.
